I'm trying to insert a required space in a date in powerpoint. How do I
avoid splitting the date onto 2 lines?

What Michael said. There are another couple of ways you can achieve
the desired result:
1. Type the date in Word, and insert a non-breaking space with Ctrl-
Shift-Space. Copy and paste into PowerPoint.
2. Use Insert | Symbol. On PowerPoint 2007, the non-breaking space is
in Basic Latin right after the tilde (~).
<rant>
IMO, this is an annoying limitation in PowerPoint. Why they didn't add
the Ctrl-Shift-Space keystroke I don't know, since it does nothing in
2003/2007. My annoyance stems from the fact that the name of my
country (New Zealand) routinely requires a non-breaking space to avoid
being split across two lines.

Thanks for your help! I would have never guessed. MS should have used the
same thing they utilize for Word. Thanks for your message!

Hi JoAnn
(On behalf of Michael and myself) Thanks for the feedback. Most people
who post questions on this newsgroup don't seem to bother. Good to
hear that the problem is resolved.

I do believe that it is supposed to work the same. Make sense to have the
same in all programs. Thanks for getting back with your success.
